Memorial Day

I was one of the guests on Kentucky Tonight on Memorial Day so we made our way over to Lexington for an evening. We stopped by Perryville Battlefield on the way. Perryville was the site of the biggest battle of the Civil War that took place in Kentucky. After doing some shopping on Tuesday, we stopped by Four Roses Distillery on the way home. Four Roses is one of the stops on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

2012 Dance Recital

Annee's Spring Dance Recital was held the Friday and Sunday of Memorial Day.  She did a very nice job.  Below are a couple of pictures and a link to a video of the performance.

Here is the link to this years dance.  A link to her dance from two years ago is also posted!

End of School Year

Annee and Hayden have now been out of school for a little over a week.   Below are the before and after pictures with their teachers.  They both did quite well on their final report cards and earned all As for the year.  They are both going to be on the swim team at Southland this summer.  This will be Hayden's first experience with the swim team.  He indicated that the first two practices were hard!  Annee thought they were pretty easy compared to those at Race.

Annee and Mrs. Johnson - Annee did not catch Mrs. Johnson in height but she has caught her brother. She is now 3/8 of an inch taller than Hayden.

Hayden did catch Mrs. Zinobile in height. It is the first teacher that he has been taller than. It is safe to assume that she won't be the last.
